Windows command to delete all .svn dirs
I need to get rid of a gazillion little .svn directories in my (very
large) project. Does anyone know of a Windows command to do it?
del *.svn* /S /F
does not work. I cannot figure out why.

Aren't those folders and files hidden and read-only?
Maybe try the /A:H switch or /A:HR
Or maybe try to remove the hidden and read-only attributes on that tree
recursively before trying to delete. Have you tried rmdir /s /q too?
Also, is the project structure still in a subversion repository? If so, you
can run the 'svn export' which will give you a clean project structure.
Hope that helps,

How about power shell?
dir -Recurse | where { $_.Name -eq '.svn' -and $_.Mode -eq 'd----' } |
Remove-item -Recurse

Hi Chris,
maybe the find and rm commands from http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ can help you.
$ find . -name ".svn" | xargs rm -rf
Greetings,

Does "del .svn /S /F" work?

I ran into the same problem, where I wanted to keep unversioned and
modified files locally, in the same path, and did not have TortoiseSVN
installed. This worked for me:
dir /s /b C:\Base\Path\*.svn > temp.txt
for /f %1 in (temp.txt) do (rmdir /s /q %1)
del temp.txt
After that I copied an .svn folder associated with empty
svn://server/repo/NULL to C:\Base\Path\, to keep future updates from
causing trouble. This was WinXP SP2. I'm not sure how well 'for'
commands do in other versions. Arnauld Van Muysewinkel's idea of
installing the Gnu Win tools, or MinGWin package, is another good idea
-- xargs comes in very handy, and both cp an rm are much better
behaved than [x]copy and del.

Does "svn export" not work?

Or install GnuWin32 packages.
Then : >find . -type d -name .svn -exec rm -r {} ^;

Another option would be to use TortoiseSVN right drag the top folder to another directory and select svn export all, and it will copy all the files except the ones in the .svn folders. It will also copy unversioned files.

Thanks. That worked.
Never did figure out how to get the command line stuff to work.
